A stick of butter ornament is exactly as absurd as it sounds, and that is the entire point. Butter earns its place on the tree the same way it earns its place on the table, which is to say constantly and without apology. It gets a laugh first, then it gets hung front and center by whoever does the actual cooking.
Perfect for: bakers, cookbook collectors, hostess gifts, white elephant gifts, foodie trees, and gift exchange surprises.
It is a glass Christmas tree ornament, mouth-blown into a carved mold, then hand-painted and glittered, made in the tradition Old World Christmas has followed since the 1800s. It hangs from a standard hook, and it works just as well tied to a bread basket or to a gift of very good salted butter.
Send it off with a warm loaf and a jar of jam, or pull a few more shapes from our holiday entertaining collection.
